  • Sour, Bitter, or Just... Bland?

    You followed the instructions. You watched YouTube. But every shot tastes wrong and you don't know why.

  • Wasted Milk, Wasted Money

    You've burned through liters of milk "practicing" steam. The café-quality latte art you see on Instagram? Not happening.

  • The Machine Intimidates You

    Temperature settings. Grind size. Tamp pressure. Extraction time. It shouldn't be this complicated to make a coffee.

What If Someone Just Showed You?

Most people don't need another YouTube tutorial. They need someone to watch them make coffee and say "there - that's what you're doing wrong."

That's exactly what this workshop is

What You'll Actually Do:

  • Practice on a Breville Barista Express (just like the one you probably have at home)
  • Try our commercial machine (see what the pros use)
  • Make real shots under expert guidance
  • Get immediate feedback on what you're doing wrong
  • Fix it in real-time until it's right
  • Leave with techniques that work on ANY machine
Book Your Spot

By the end of 90 minutes:


✓ Pull consistent espresso shots (no more sour or bitter surprises)
✓ Steam milk to café-quality microfoam
✓ Understand why your coffee tastes the way it does
✓ Know which variables actually matter (and which don't)
✓ Pour basic latte art (hearts and tulips)
✓ Clean and maintain your machine properly

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to bring my own machine?

No. We provide Breville Barista Express machines and our commercial setup.

What if I don't own a machine yet?

Even better - learn proper technique first, then buy with confidence.

How many people per session?

Currently 4 max. You'll get hands-on time and personal feedback. Private group sessions max 6.

What will I actually be able to do after?

Pull balanced espresso, steam proper micro foam, pour basic latte art, and troubleshoot when something's off.

What if my home machine is different from the Breville?

The principles work on any machine. We teach the "why" so you can adapt to any setup. You'll also have a go at the commercial machine where you'll see that they are very similar methods.

What if I can't make the date?

Reschedule free with 24 hours notice.

What if I already know the basics?

You'll still pick up plenty. We cover technique details most home baristas miss - like why weighing your dose matters, how extraction time changes with grind size, and the physics of milk texture. If you're already nailing all of that, our Latte Art Mastery course might be a better fit.

Can I bring a friend/partner?

Yes - just book a ticket each.

Do you offer private sessions?

Yes. Email us for pricing at info@perthcoffeeexchange.com.au

Can I book this for a team or group?

Yep, just email us at info@perthcoffeeexchange.com.au and we can sort it out!

PDF guides covering everything we taught, plus support if you get stuck.

What's next after this course?

We have an upcoming Barista Mastery workshop for those who want to level up. Stay tuned! We'll announce it by email if you want updates just sign up to our newsletter.
